Abstract
AbstractNoncontact energy transfer systems are widely used in industrial material handling systems. This paper proposes a new noncontact energy transfer system using a tuned pickup coil and an immitance converter inductively coupled to a parallel transmission line excited by a high‐frequency constant‐current source.In a noncontact energy transfer system which supplies continuous energy to movers by electromagnetic induction, the efficiency is low owing to low excitation impedance because of the wide air gap of the magnetic core in the pickup coil. The excitation impedance can be increased by the resonance with a capacitor connected parallel to the pickup coil. The resonant pickup coil works as a high‐frequency constant‐current source for the load. We propose using an immittance converter to transform the high‐frequency constant‐current source into a high‐frequency constant‐voltage source. Then, the high‐frequency constant‐voltage source is rectified into a constant‐voltage dc source, and supplies power to an inverter for motor driving.In this paper, the configuration of this new noncontact energy transfer system and its characteristics are described. The experimental results and simulation waveforms are also described. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 136(4): 58–64, 2001
